Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

If sweet potatoes haven’t become a regular staple in your household, it’s time to make them one. There’s simply no vegetable like it: healthy and satisfying, crazy delicious, and as easy to prepare as a bowl of cereal.

Curried Chicken & Avocado Sandwich

Do y’all ever have sandwich-for-dinner nights? Sometimes you just can’t beat the ease or comfort food factor of yummy ingredients piled between two toasty slices of bread.

Sprouted Rye Apple Butter Muffins
